Bac Son valley is an amazing destination for one’s looking to make a short mountain trip from Hanoi. It is located right in the middle of Vietnam's North East region and well connected with Cao Bang's Ban Gioc waterfall, Ba Be Lake, Lang Son, and Halong Bay. Handspan is very proud to introduce the start of Eco Huu Lien Village as the first eco-lodge style accommodation in the area. We develop long-term, sustainable practices in the stunning mountains and showcase the potential for well-managed tourism projects.

Located just two and a half hours from Hanoi near the beautiful Bac Son Valley is Handspan’s newest project: the Eco Huu Lien Village. Whether you are staying overnight, or longer, our eco-lodge will offer our guests a unique experience in an unforgettable part of Vietnam.

We start Eco Huu Lien Village in March 2018 and expect to complete the first phase of our project at the end of the year and welcome the first guest to experience our eco-lodge in Spring 2019.

Untouched, unspoiled... 

The Eco Huu Lien Village is located in Huu Lung district in Lang Son Province, north-east of Hanoi, and only a two and a half-hour drive. UNESCO World Heritage site Halong Bay is just a three-hour drive away.

Nestled in the pristine Huu Lien valley, with stunning karst mountains dominating the horizon, rice paddies, and a natural stream and rockpool on the property, our eco-lodge is the perfect spot to relax and revive. 

Unforgettable. 

Hill tribe villages and minority peoples such as the Tay, Nung and Dzao are practically on our doorstep, which means easy access to educational and cultural exchanges.

With a nature reserve adjacent to Eco Huu Lien Village and the mountains, guests can delight in a range of activities, including hiking and trekking, bird-watching, observing wildlife, photography. Enjoy a holiday of action and adventure, or rest and relaxation — it’s completely up to you.
